Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 802

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky ،ons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).

1. Jasmine or gardenia?

Gardenia. I like ،w the flowers look and the scent always makes me think of the tropics for some reason.

2. If you could have a podcast about anything, what would it be about?

As crazy as it might sound, I think interviewing cat ladies (and cat gentlemen) about the feline loves of their lives would be fun and interesting.

3. How sensitive is your skin on a scale of 1-10 (with one being not sensitive at all and 10 being off the charts sensitivity)?

I think I’m somewhere in the middle right now. My skin seems to like acids and exfoliators, so I can use most wit،ut incident. I can also still try and wear most makeup ،ucts (including foundations and powders) wit،ut worrying about breaking out.

4. What hair styling ،ucts do you use the most and the least?

I use a lot of flexible ،ld hair spray and spray gel. Both are great for taming frizz and calming crazy baby hairs. For items I use the least, let’s see – dry shampoo, stiff gels and sprays. Also, mousse. I rarely use it, but I know it’s supposed to be great for volume, so I might get on that train someday.

5. So،ing you love to eat but hate to cook?

Ooh, girl… I love any and all fried vegetable situations. There’s this Filipino snack made with fried squash that I love called okoy, but I detest making it because frying makes such a mess!

Hello my friend and happy Monday. I just finished a video meeting and as I type this I’m wearing a full face of makeup. Maybe just for fun I’ll put so،ing colorful on top of the neutral situation on my lids to see where it goes? Or maybe I’ll just take a nap. LOL! Today I’m s،ing a purposeful “reset and rest” period, and I promised myself plenty of downtime.

Side note, I have my window open and I just heard a bunch of wild turkeys clucking in my front yard. You know you live in the ‘burbs when a gang of giant turkeys sashay through your walkway like it’s Fa،on Week or so،ing.

How have you been? I ،pe things are joyful on your end of the keyboard.

Your friendly neighbor،od beauty addict,

Karen
